Yeah I did read it and agree he has a great grasp of the games psychology. Does understanding it make you immune? (shrugs). Its just weird. I only started watch starcraft 2 years ago, was July mediocre in proleague back in '04? Maybe he just misses POS.

Yeah i started 2 years ago as well, probably alot more pressure back in POS he was the workhorse and his team depended on him quite some time.

July is a top player without a doubt, he just underperforms in the proleague for some reason. You can't just write him off as mediocre with a history like his.
